Y2Kyoto: It’s A Contest! (Bumped)

Climate Cult 360 Comments

Anthony Watts, on The morphology of “global warming”;

Obama’s science Czar John Holdren has decided the new name for global warming, er, climate change shall be:

Because the first two didn’t work apparently.

And neither will this. First of all, it’s three words, and secondly, they don’t exactly roll neatly off the tongue. That adds up to one big fat TV reporter fail.
So, comments are now open to SDA reader suggestions for a new Big Scary Name for the coming fourth stage of morph.
Winners will be announced Monday. Keep it clean.
Update: Instead of just naming a winner, I’ll close “nominations” on Saturday night, and put the final decision to a poll of selected finalists. The submission chosen by our readers will win a $50.00 donation to the registered charity of their choice.

  11. It’s not just that it’s 3 words that doesn’t work.
    It’s the 5 syllables that trip clumsily off the tongue.
    If it was 3 words and 3 syllables like ‘Earth Clime Strain’ then it would be catchier.
    They’re just trying to raise the Frenzy Factor to get the eco-Fear fetishists stoked for COP 16 in November/December.
    Too bad for them the Republicans are going to reclaim the House of Representatives at the beginning of November.
    (yes, I know it’ll be a lame duck session)
    What might put a damper on things is the state of the stock market in October, the traditional month for crashes.

  26. I talked to my ol dog Blue,
    and he doesn’t care for that name
    ‘Climate Mange.’

    The Viking King,

    “Panelists will share their best practices for public and media engagement, debate how to respond to critiques, and explore the idea of reframing climate change as a public health issue.”
